13 days agoDietary Changes for Migraines
13 days agoI used to have absolutely horrible migraines that were so bad they lasted for days and I would have to sit on the toilet with a garbage can to throw up in and on the pot for the issue at the other end! It's like my body was trying so hard to get rid of some toxin in me. I started to get a rash and figured out that it was bread/wheat/ gluten that was the problem. After I stopped eating wheat products my migraines have never come back and it is wonderful!
Plus, with our food now being so contaminated with additives, chemicals, flavorings etc. I think it is causing so much of us to become sick. If you look into the history of the wheat that is now grown in our country, it is totally different than the wheat our ancestors ate. You will not ever see Amber waves of grain in our country anymore. It is a short stubby plant now that produces more than yield than the ancient grains we have always eaten. They changed our wheat products on the grocery shelves in the 70's and never told the public.
Re: Essiac Tea for Cancer in Pets
13 days agoHi I wanted to thank posters on this site who suggested essiac for cancer. My dog was diagnosed with liver cancer back in February and was given 6 months to live. She was given niacin supplements and same. But then I started giving her liquid essiac drops for pets found on Amazon. Since starting she has more energy than she has had in years and appears to be aging backwards. I now call her my miracle baby:-)

14 days agoHi,
I just want to interject here that chaste tree may not be for everyone. I tried it and it actually caused more weirdness in my menstrual periods and changed my system in a way that made me feel less alert and less strong.
That doesn't mean it won't work for someone else, just that that may not be a universal fact. A lot of times, when it comes to endocrine or neurological or autoimmune issues, different people will respond differently.

14 days agoHi GertJr – I'm so sorry you're having pain and trouble. I've had knee issues since I was little (diagnosed with arthritis when I was 11). I also had meniscus snip surgery 15 years ago (and some of the arthritis roto-rootered out as the doc said) and it was the best thing I ever did. I didn't do PT until almost a year later, big mistake on my part waiting so long, but boy did it make all the difference in the long run.
If I was still having issues like you're having I'd get to a NEW/DIFFERENT ortho doc soonest and have them start from scratch. Maybe they didn't get all of the tear during the initial operation or maybe you have another section that's torn? For such a little piece, a meniscus causes SO MUCH pain. My other knee is due for surgery soon, can't straighten my leg and I'm the same as you - I can barely move in the morning, takes me several minutes to get out of bed. Can't wait to get it fixed.
Good luck, I hope you find relief very soon.
Re: Diluted DMSO for Cataracts and Glaucoma
14 days agoI saw your post about using dmso and getting some improvement in your cataract. I was hoping you could give a follow-up report. How's bad was your cataract to begin with, and how's much improvement did you see, your method, etc. I have a cataract in one eyed that has gotten progressively worse, and when I use this eye alone cannot see the facial features of a person acids the room, but can tell it is a person. With both eyes open I see very well.

14 days agoHello GertJr,
i pray all of your pain has gone away, nevertheless; let me ask, are you a coffee or caffeine drinker? The point is that it could be something that you eat or drink that makes the pain so bad.
I had always been a tea drinker, but somewhere in my late forties or early fifties. I came down with something and could not hold any food on my stomach for days. it came to me to drink black coffee. I did and the vomiting stopped. But I realized, I enjoyed the coffee more than the tea.
After I became a coffee drinker I started having problems with knee pain and leg cramps. which was relieved when I did a 3 day fast. I also had less pain when I started taking potassium and magnesium supplements. I now also rub in castor oil when I feel that rain is on the way.
I still let go the coffee some weeks, and when I do the walking is much easier. so, check if there is a food that makes your pain worse.

14 days agoCoconut Oil for Cold Sores - No!
15 days agoHi ND,
I thought Coconut oil had no L arginine in it, so I asked ChatGPT this question :
Does coconut oil have any arginine in it?
ChatGPT's answer :
' Coconut oil contains virtually no arginine — or any amino acids at all — because it's composed almost entirely of fats (triglycerides), not proteins.
Here's a breakdown to clarify:
-
Arginine is an amino acid, found in protein-containing foods like meat, fish, dairy, nuts, and seeds.
-
Coconut oil, by contrast, is made up of medium-chain fatty acids such as lauric acid, caprylic acid, and capric acid. These are pure fats with negligible protein or amino acid content.
If you're looking for arginine-rich coconut products, the coconut meat (the solid part) and coconut flour contain small amounts of arginine, but coconut oil itself does not.

Arthritis Pain in Knee - Update
15 days agoHi GertJr,
Did you try the remedies on your lower back in case the pain is originating there? Arthritis of the knee would have responded to the remedies you mentioned. Since it did not, you should consider that it may be caused by a nerve issue originating at your lower back/spine or elsewhere.
Icing your lower back from the bottom of the tail bone up about 10 inches can be done to quickly tell you if the problem is originating there.
You said, ' the pain goes right down my inner shin.', that could be because it is a nerve issue that originates at the lower back. Try icing your lower back to see if it offers any relief. You have to eliminate any possibilities. After icing, apply the previously mentioned remedies to your lower back.

GINGER ROOT.
Ginger Root is more effective than aspirin at preventing blood clotting, with none of the risk of internal bleeding associated with aspirin, making it a powerful aid against Heart disease and Deep vein thrombosis, according to many recent laboratory studies. Ginger root dissolves bot clots on contact!
Ginger root has been shown to be highly effective in preventing, and curing, blood clots, heart disease, cancer, arthritis, and a variety of other illnesses. For example, the blood clots that trigger heart attack dissolve when exposed to ginger. Ginger interferes with the long sequence of events necessary for blood clots to form. This helps to prevent clots that can lodge in narrowed coronary arteries and set off a heart attack. Something called thromboxane synthesis initiates clot formation. Ginger is a potent inhibitor of this process. Ginger also inhibits The clumping together of platelets in the blood. So ginger inhibits blood clots in at least two ways. In a study in Prostaglandins Medicine, ginger inhibited blood clots more effectively than onion or garlic. Ginger also increases the strength of the heart. Scientists call ginger a cardiotonic agent because of its ability to increase energy production in the heart and to enhance calcium pumping within heart cells that is required for optimal cardiac output.
How to use: Some people prefer fesh ginger root. You can grate 1 inch piece of the root into a cup, add water and let steep overnite. Drink the next morning.
Or
Take capsules. 4 grams is the recommend maximum daily. So that translates to taking 2 – 500mg capsules = 1gram. 3X/daily = 3grams per day.
VITAMIN C.
In a exciting paper by G.C. Willis appeared in 1957 entitled "the Reversibility of Atherosclerosis." In this study atherosclerosis was induced in guinea pigs by depriving them of ascorbic acid. Some guinea pigs were then given large doses of ascorbic acid and it was found that in these animals the beginning atherosclerotic lesions were rapidly resorbed while the more advanced atherosclerotic plaques on the artery walls took longer. There was a steady decline in the incidence of the lesions in direct proportion to the duration of ascorbic acid therapy. The significance of these observations for man is tremendous -- they open the way to the megascorbic prophylaxis of atherosclerosis -- but they never were tested further.
VITAMIN E OIL.
Vitamin E Oil - Blood clots: A 2014 research study has shown that vitamin E helps prevent or delay the onset of heart diseases. One of the major reasons for heart attacks is blood clots. Research shows that tocopherol helps in the elimination of blood clots, which in turn helps to avoid heart attacks. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3997530/
Vitamin E oil contains antioxidants that improve the circulation of blood to all parts of the body. Improves the health of our veins and poor circulation. Vitamin E helps keep platelets from sticking together and adhering to the side of blood vessel walls. If you suffer from painful cramps in the calf of your leg due to narrowed or hardened arteries and veins this may be relieved by the addition of vitamin E to the diet. Broccoli, spinach and kiwis contain a significant amount of the vitamin. You also can get vitamin E from eating fortified cereals
Vitamin E is also important for varicose veins because it helps to improve overall circulation and promotes healthy blood flow. According to the Mother Nature website, vitamin E is needed to keep platelets from sticking together and adhering to the side of blood vessel walls. Vitamin E helps to reduce the stickiness of blood platelets, which is also essential for helping individuals who are in the high risk category from suffering conditions such as blood clots and type 1 diabetes.
Vitamin E- 200-600 IU, helps prevent platelets from sticking to each other and artery walls and protects against cardiovascular disease.
Vitamin E for Phlebitis Victim Back on Her Feet Again.
Ms. H.N. reports: "Up until recently I had so much pain with phlebitis that I was in bed for three months. Then a friend told me about vitamin E and I have been taking 400mg. daily and now I walk for an hour or- more every morning. Then I help at Senior Citizens for four hours, five days a week besides all the other things I do and my legs do not bother me now. I will be 70 years old soon and have more energy than my daughter who is 32. I am so grateful for vitamin E. It has been my life saver!"
Vitamin E for Phlebitis Ulcer Heals like Magic.
Ms. V.B. reports: "For many years I had suffered phlebitis which eventually broke down and formed an ulcer, which would heal for a while then break open again and again. After one severe case of infection, I had to have surgery, which helped, but only temporarily. By this time I had a great area of scar tissue which would crack, with the result, further ulceration occurred. My doctor wanted further surgery and skin graft, which I refused. "I engaged a new doctor; he agreed with me a trial with vitamin E might be of some merit. He put me on 1600 units a day, plus application externally to the affected area. It was like magic. The ulcers healed, the scar tissue became pliable, no further breakage. The bulgy veins flattened down to normal.
"I stayed on vitamin E for six weeks under doctor's supervision/Then decreased to 800 per day for three months. I now continue to take 400 units each day. Never felt better in my life. Considering I'm in my sixties and worked standing on my feet eight hours a day, this was a severe test for any medication.
Vitamin E for Phlebitis Relieved, Clot Disappears, Paralysis Avoided.
Mr. D.S. relates how his neighbor developed a clot in his right thigh, which was removed surgically. The operation was a great success, he says. Unfortunately, the man's leg was permanently paralyzed. Then he says: "Last May I served on the election board ... and was on my feet practically all (day). By the next morning an alarming blood clot had formed in the femoral vein in my left thigh. The flesh around the vein was red and inflamed. The vein stood out under the skin like a rope on the inside portion of my thigh and was very sore to the touch ... I feared that surgery ... I had been taking about 1200 I.U. of vitamin E daily, so I decided ... to double the dose ... and within 24 hours the clot began to disappear. The hard rope-like vein in my thigh had softened. I continued taking 2400 I.U. of vitamin E for several days. After five or six days the clot and inflammation had completely gone. Soon thereafter I had recovered completely."
Re: Natural Remedies Needed for Deep Vein Thrombosis in Left Leg
15 days agoHi DVT,
The problem with the better supplements for DVT is that almost all of them also thin the blood with one possible exception for CoQ10, but CoQ10 can react negatively with blood thinners. Since this is the case your doctor or cardiologist not going to allow you to use them.
One possible exception that your doctor or cardiologist might consider is red light therapy which is also called photobiomodulation which can help prevent more clots from forming in the first place as discussed here :
Here is a relevant quote from the literature :
' Humans and mice exposed to long-wavelength red light had lower rates of blood clots that can cause heart attacks, lung damage and strokes, according to research led by University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and UPMC surgeon-scientists and published Jan. 10, 2025, in the Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis. '
Given the severity of your condition, this would of course require your doctor's approval and supervision in order to be safe.
One other consideration that would also require your doctor's approval and supervision is Melatonin Lotion (ML), because it has anti inflammatory effects, antioxidative stress effects and has shown the ability to reduce inflammation of the endothelium. Inflammation of the endothelium can cause blood clots. It may also reduce swelling in some situations.
I explain how to make melatonin lotion here :
https://www.earthclinic.com/supplements/melatonin-lotion.html
Since melatonin also has a potential antithrombotic effects that may be synergistic with the blood thinner medication(s), it definitely needs your doctor's approval and supervision and is worth discussing with your doctor.
